Gee, thanks mister ‘knock a 0 off all of their budgets’, for teaching me about economics. 

Assuming they’d get some proper testing days, having Sainz or Norris compete with the regulars might not turn out to be a great look for IndyCar.

Yes, true. Yet not really relevant to my point. It doesn’t matter why other teams leave, it matters that Ferrari doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not out of some sense of loyalty or anything. Ferrari needs F1 nearly as much as F1 needs Ferrari.

This might be a good time to mention that Ferrari has been the only manufacturer to never pull out of F1, whereas everyone else have flipflopped continuously for a variety of reasons.

OK, sure, we’ll fire like 90% of the people working in F1.

There’s no way McLaren would allow Norris and Sainz to take part in an oval race, but a road course could be feasible if indeed the seat’s available.

Ah, I was worried it was just me. He seems like an OK guy, but his stand-up just doesn’t do it for me. I always thought those little intros and outros were the weakest parts of Seinfeld, which made me realize the show is much more ‘Larry David’ than ‘Jerry Seinfeld’.

Same. I went in 2017, definitely the craziest race of the season. Terrible sight lines, but a great city.

Well, if the likes of Pagenaud, Power and Rossi can compete on that level, surely Norris can.

just watch the race below, it was good.

Prize/start money covers nearly half the budget for most teams. Ferrari received $205 million in prize money, bonuses and legacy payments. Even Williams received $60M on an estimated budget of $130M.

How are they going to pay their staff to develop the car if there’s no prize money or sponsorship income for 2020?

What WCC prize money? If F1 doesn’t make money, the’re nothing they can award the teams.

With a lineup of Maldonado and Grosjean, this surviving nosecone is truly one of a kind.

Or you could just watch Fury Road again.

The problem with that is that it would mean laying off half the staff.

I would imagine he would want to see the sport flourish post-pandemic.

Sharing the TV money is a must. Organizers aren’t going to run a GP at a loss right now. Everyone needs to give in a little bit, which is worrying given F1's track record in that area.

He doesn’t owe the team a single penny. He was effectively pushed out and now he’s supposed to help the teams?

It’ll significantly reduce their cost projection for the foreseeable future, giving them a better chance at survival right now.
